F7 error message is appearing on our Whirlpool Range's control panel since couple of days now. We are unable to use Oven since then. First I tried switching OFF and ON but with no luck. Instead it locked the Oven door as soon as I connected power cable. Now we were experiencing two issues, F7 and Locked door. I unplugged the power cable and then opened the back panel. There was some kind of motor and metal hook. I moved the hook on left side manually and it unlocked the door. But when I plugged back the power cable, it locked the door again. I saw four cables connected to that motor. One of the cables was brown color and it has RLOCK written on it. I unplug the RLOCK cable and then unlock the lock door by moving the hook on left side. Then plugged back the power cable, this time, it did not lock the oven door automatically. This resolved the door lock issue but F7 error message is still appearing on the control panel. Any idea? Thanks in advance.
